SPIRIT, casted “teen spirit” deodorant stick and resin, 2022 #telepathy (I was 15 when the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana was released. I had discovered the underground world since a couple of years, and for many, myself included, that album, whether we musically liked it or not, was considered the end of what we called, and still call, Underground Resistance. I was then a teenager, with time things turned out to be more intricate and complicated. Regardless, that moment and that album left an indelible mark. It became a turning point.
A manhole is a gate to the underworld. It truly doesn’t matter how good we try to make it look (how we polish it, neatening its appearance or its shape) or smell: things are moving down there and slowly will rot, so as we do. #nicovascellari #nirvana
The sculpture is part of the exhibition curated by @pierpaolopancotto at @palazzomocenigo in Venice.
